Marcus (12,1-12)
In illo tempore: Cœpit illis in parábolis loqui: “Víneam pastinávit homo et circúmdedit sæpem et fodit lacum et ædificávit turrim et locávit eam agrícolis et péregre proféctus est. Et misit ad agrícolas in témpore servum, ut ab agrícolis accíperet de fructu víneæ;qui apprehénsum eum cæcidérunt et dimisérunt vácuum. Et íterum misit ad illos álium servum; et illum in cápite vulneravérunt et contuméliis affecérunt. Et álium misit, et illum occidérunt, et plures álios, quosdam cædéntes, álios vero occidéntes. Adhuc unum habébat, fílium diléctum. Misit illum ad eos novíssimum dicens: ‘Reverebúntur fílium meum.’ Colóni autem illi dixérunt ad ínvicem: ‘Hic est heres. Veníte, occidámus eum, et nostra erit heréditas.’Et apprehendéntes eum occidérunt et eiecérunt extra víneam.Quid ergo fáciet dóminus víneæ? Véniet et perdet colónos et dabit víneam áliis.Nec Scriptúram hanc legístis: ‘Lápidem quem reprobavérunt ædificántes, hic factus est in caput ánguli; a Dómino factum est istud et est mirábile in óculis nostris’?”Et quærébant eum tenére et timuérunt turbam; cognovérunt enim quóniam ad eos parábolam hanc díxerit. Et relícto eo abiérunt.
In that time: Jesus began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it, and dug a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it to husbandmen; and went into a far country. And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive of the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. Who having laid hands on him, beat him, and sent him away empty. And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and used him reproachfully. And again he sent another, and him they killed: and many others, of whom some they beat, and others they killed. Therefore having yet one son, most dear to him; he also sent him unto them last of all, saying: They will reverence my son. But the husbandmen said one to another: This is the heir; come let us kill him; and the inheritance shall be ours. And laying hold on him, they killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen; and will give the vineyard to others. And have you not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner: By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes. And they sought to lay hands on him, but they feared the people. For they knew that he spoke this parable to them. And leaving him, they went their way.
